Pros

This was a great place to jump start my career and I was lucky to have a manager who really cared about helping me work towards my goals. I knew what skills I wanted to work on and asked for those opportunities to develop them.

Cons

There are not enough resources to cover the amount of work they want to get done. Regardless if you're on the business front or on IT, there is an obvious shortage of human capital. In my experience, you don't get compensated for overtime- you're expected to just do it. Because of this, everyone is stretched very thin, become irritated, and hence, teamwork and camaraderie suffers. This is frustrating yet understandable; why would you want to help someone out when you're neck deep in your own mountain of work? The office also needs a serious facelift. It still feels like a 1960s office, without the wide open space. I'd be embarrassed to show outsiders what this office looks like.

Pros

Profit Sharing is a nice benefit Growing Company that normally leads the industry Coworkers are awesome and supportive Training is extensive

Cons

The "Geico Family" just got new step parents and they have no clue how to motivate associates. I am a 20+ year associate who has bled GEICO blue from day one. The company purports to Respect and Support its associates but no longer does either. New Senior management has a philosophy that those who do not fit their warped definition of "all in" are as easily disposable as yesterday's trash. Insulting, irrational and unthinking senior team believes motivation by fear and threat are the way to improve the competitive position of the company. Morale has never been lower and those who have helped the company be the growth leader for years are looked upon as lower class rubes. It's a shame a once great company has been turned over to those who are fast destroying the "secret sauce" that has made us so successful. A hostile work environment is now the norm.
